    hesitate to let me know! Theres always room or improvement, so stay

    tuned or the next issue or some brand new additions and such! :)

    On a Circle K-related note, though, has it been a crazy six weeks or

    what!? Ive been pretty much on my toes throughout this quarter (or

    both Circle K and school reasons) so ar, but I cant help but thank

    Circle K or being my occasional stress reliever. Speaking o stress reliever, I am

    NCREDIBLY EXCITED or this weekend. Why? Fall Training Conerence~! This

    If you thought Circle K took a break during the summer, take another

    at our calendar! Throughout the summer, UCLA CKI held service pro

    socials and even began hosting general meetings so our members c

    stay active and continue upholding our tenets of service, leadership

    fellowship. With the more exible schedule, Service Team was ab

    have events like Habitat for Humanity Community Build Day, where

    helped build a house to a local deserving family, or Heal the Bay BClean Up, where we cleaned up Dockweiler Beach with Foothill Div

    schools. We even had environmental projects in Orange County, suc

    ROOTS Day and 2nd Sundays at Upper Newport Bay, where we remo

    invasive plants so the natural vegetation could grow.

    Our service wasnt limited to the LA or OC area, since some of us m

    the trek down to San Diego for District Summer Service Social. Cal-

    Ha Circle K-ers came from all over to enjoy service projects, fun so

    and network with Kiwanians at DSSS, which is held in conjunction

    Kiwanis DCON. The whole weekend was jampacked with events w

    we ate for service, had an epic laser tag battle, and cleared out p

    overgrowth for the environmental project. We also attended worksho

    learn about things like changes to the Membership Recognition Progand the new District Service Initiative written by our own Jamie T

    Needless to say, this was an amazing opportunity to bond with C

    K-ers within our district.

    Now that summer is over and school has started, there are plent

    opportunities to do fall service projects! Keep your eyes and ears o

    for whats coming up this quarter!

    l of the kids dress up in their favorite Hal-

    Halloween makeover!

    They have various activities around the

    ampus, from arts & crafts to games, and

    ey even have a rock climbing wall! Its

    help as they can get. We volunteered at a

    ing!) and various games stations.

    Patrick [Huie] and I even participated

    in an adult dodgeball tournament on their

    dodgeball obstacle! Although I dont re-

    member who won, I think the kids came in

    the festival, we all got to go on an inat-

    able bounce house and jump our joy out.

    What an exhilarating day!

    On October 22nd, 2011, UCLA Circle

    hosted its annual Key To College, an event

    hat a Circle K hosts to educate high school

    udents about college. We were able to

    ring in over sixty Key Club members from

    earby divisions. The Key Club membersrst enjoyed our numerous ice breakers fol-

    owed by a late morning tour of the campus,

    which included residential halls. After lunch,

    hey learned about SATs, Financial Aid, and

    ance during the workshop succession and

    got their questions answered during the

    panel.

    Overall, it was a very successful event and

    an enormous improvement over last years

    Key To College. Connie Lams hard work

    and planning along with the dedication of

    UCLA Circle Ks board paid off in the end.

    Furthermore, we were almost able to get

    almost fty Circle K members to volunteer

    at this single event! Well done Clammmm,

    we are all proud of you! We look forward

    on matching our success next year!

    The beginning of every school year is always a big

    for UCLA Circle K. While the same feeling arises at the

    of every quarter, nothing beats the thrill of a new scyear. The reason behind this is the simple fact of wel

    ing new Bruins into the club. This year, we had a plet

    of rush events for our potential new members, planne

    none other than our Membership Development and Educa

    Chair Alex Pham. And what better name to call this seri

    events than Circle K: Were More Than a Gas Station

    Believe it or not, but our welcome week activities ran

    ERY DAY for two weeks. Each day embraced one of t

    tenets of service, leadership, and fellowship. By doing

    not only were we representing CKI in the best way poss

    were also giving potential members a greater feel of

    organization and to spark their interest in whatever way

    sible. Needless to say, it ultimately paid off in the long

    because we had large numbers of people come out to

    of our events. It was fantastic! Lets take a short trip d

    memory lane with our favorite rush week events, shall w

    Things kicked off at the end of Week 1 on Thursday a

    our very rst General Meeting of the year. After this m

    ing, we had a Meet the Board social, where people

    mingle and snack on goodies. The next day, we had a p

    at Sunset Recreation Center, which was moved to a loca

    on the Hill simply because the weather was denitely

    cooperating with us that day! As we started the montOctober with a lovely weekend, the Sports Jamboree

    place, during which members get in touch with their phy

    side (get your mind out of the gutter!).

    As Week 2 began, we started with Dorm Brunch, because,

    well, nothing beats brunch in the dining halls! We also had

    n event called Board Games with Board (what a great pun,

    o?), where members simpled played all sorts of different

    oard games with board. Two different great events alsoook place this week: the Alexandria House Cook Night and

    ards for Tanzania. Both projects allowed members to em-

    race their creative sides with cooking and arts and crafts.

    My personal favorite event took place this week as welll - Ice

    Skating Social! When I was a

    rst year, this was the one event

    I enjoyed and remembered the

    most; it was also when I met my

    rst Circle K friend: Neil, your

    president!

    Week 3 marked the last

    week of welcome week activi-es, starting with the Run Long Beach Marathon, at which our

    members woke up bright and early to volunteer with CSULBs

    ircle K to cheer on runners and hand out cups of water as

    hey ran by. One of the crazier rush week events we had was

    rogressive Dinner, which was a favorite to many because

    hey were pretty much apartment hopping for delicious noms

    ll evening! We wrapped up the week with an epic battle of

    umans VS Zombies Friday night and CKI South on Saturday.

    What a way to end all our rush events, huh!?

    Whew! That was a handful! New members and old mem-

    ers alike, I certainly hope you all enjoyed the activities thatook place during our welcome week(s). We can only hope

    o bring more wonderful things to you now and in the future

    s well! Thanks for coming out!

    Each day embracedone o three tenets o

    ervice, leadership,

    and ellowship.

    Bruins Roar with Pride and Spirit

    at CKI Sout

    Waking up bright and early on a Saturday morning, I hopped in my car

    to pick up several sleepy Circle K-ers to head to my very rst (and sadly

    last) CKI South! After an hour, we arrived and were greeted with masses ofpumped Circle K-ers in club shirts, bandanas, knee-high socks and looks of

    erce desire to win. There were several stations with different games river

    of lava, balloon pop, sponge race, jump rope, and relay race. UCLA rocked

    the games, showing great spirit and sportsmanship. I was glad to have been

    a part of TEAM VICTORY!!

    During Metro DCM that followed, I was glad to see we had new schools

    join the big Circle K family, including Cal State University Northridge and

    Pierce College! I hope they grow in numbers and develop an awesome Circle

    K branch in their schools.

    The day ended in an intense ninja battle to determine the winners of CKI

    South which turned out to be UCI! They did a great job in the competitions.Sweaty, tired, and throat hoarse from shouting, I was exhausted but super

    thankful that I got to spend my Saturday at CKI South with some amazing

    people supporting a good cause.

    Masquerade Ball is an annual district-

    wide event hosted by UC San Diegos

    Circle K club held this year on Halloween

    weekend. It is a fundraiser for Pediatric

    rauma Program, which

    eeks to reduce the numberof children killed or injured

    by unintentional injury. Not

    only is this event held on a

    boat, this event is held on

    a THREE-LEVEL BOAT, set-

    ng sail from 12:30AM to

    3:30AM.

    This years Masquerade

    all was different in that it

    was held on Halloween Weekend (which

    explains why UC Berkeley wasnt there,ince they have a single service project dur-

    ng this time... ) where the event was Hal-

    oween themed so attendees were allowed

    o come dressed up formally like previous

    years or with a creative costume! One of

    he most creative costumes this year was

    UCLAs own, and Metro Lieutenant Gov-

    ernor JONATHAN JUNPRADUB, where he

    dressed up as a Ghostbuster packed with

    a self-made proton pack with pretty lights

    and sound effects. Also, for some odd rea-

    son, there seemed to be a lot of the beau-

    tiful ladies dressed up as Minnie Mouse,

    including our very own Vice President of

    Administration, LINZY BINGCANG.

    There were a lot of attendees from our

    club who were going for the rst time.

    GARVEY SU, well-respect-

    ed member and co-fund-raising chair, says with this

    year being my rst time at

    Masquerade Ball, I was re-

    ally excited for the event

    and I could feel the entire

    bus anticipation as well. A

    harmony of UCLA, CSULB,

    and El Camino sung on the

    trip to San Diego. On the

    yacht, everyone was enjoying themselves,

    whether they were karaoke-ing, playing

    casino games, taking pictures as a couple

    or with friends, or dancing the night away

    with friends downstairs or romantically with

    ones signicant other upstairs on the deck.

    As the event reached its end, the nap on

    the bus ride back from 4-6AM is going to

    be the best nap of your life.

    ...and to think, BRIAN KAN wanted me

    to drive to KEEN LA at 9AM. Nope! Chuck

    Testa. We all need our rests for the amaz-

    ing and unforgettable event, Masquerade.

    TurKeys Take:Passion TriumphsOver All

    I have seen my share of moments inCircle K, but something that gets mevery time is members with enthusi-sm. New members who bring charis-

    ma and drive to the organization help

    ekindle an old bag of bones mascotke me.It happens to all of us. Just like

    ow eating too much ChOcOlAtE cAkEmakes you sick, people get tired of theame things over and over. It is sad,

    but some of the members may leaveor a bit just to try out new things.Yet, there is a silver lining in this soul

    earching. Even though we may leave,ventually we will always come backo an organization that was such auge part of us. Part of that reasons because of you, the new membersoining. Theres a small turtle-monkeyn each one of you, ready to BURSTut of your heart of gold to do greathings for the community. Its hard tond that nowerdays; people in Circle

    K understand how to help peoplemore than any other group on campus.

    So if I have any advice to give toou, it is this: dont be afraid of us old

    members. In fact, were as shy to meetou as you are to meet us! Dont befraid to introduce yourself or ask ifouve forgotten a name. We mayot come out as much, but rest assuredwe share the same passion for help-

    ng others as you do.

    TurKeys Take is a monthly edito-

    ial column focusing on different

    spects of CKI. Look forward to

    next months rant from TurKey!

    you to take PHOTOS! If your photo gets se-

    lected for the FTC spread in the next issue

    of the newsletter, I will personally drive you

    to get boba!* Of course, the chance of othershenanigans happening is really quite high.

    All you need to do is... Well, up-

    load your photos to DotPhoto! I will

    choose the best photos from the batch!

    Im only driving you to get boba (and other shenanigans), I cannot pay or you...
